		<description><![CDATA[In &#8220;The Politically Incorrect Reforms of France&#8217;s New President&#8221; (Knowledge@Wharton, 5/16/07), analysts offer a number of prognostications:

France must restructure the labor market, making unemployment less easy; France is the lone European holdout in labor restructuring.

		<description><![CDATA[The Post paints a picture of a confused, hesitant, and unrealistic electorate in France as voters select a president.  A French analysist summed up voters as wanting &#8220;the myth of a job that&#8217;s secure for life with full, massive protections, and by some miracle the creation of new jobs.&#8221;
The recurrent theme is fear of [...]]]></description>

The ratings are a good indicator of general abilities [...]]]></description>
